1. Andrew's Camino Walk - The French Way 780 Km

I am embarking on the ancient pilgrimage of the Camino Frances on 24 April. Starting my walk from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and finishing in the historic city of Santiago de Compostela, I am hoping the journey will take me approximately 35 days based on an average of 15.5 miles per day.

One of the amazing charities I am raising money for is Gloucester Cathedral. With a 1,300 year long history, the Cathedral is one of the most significant heritage destinations in the South West of England. A living, breathing building, the Cathedral sees a huge amount of activity taking place every day of the year. Its world-famous architecture, including the magnificent medieval Cloisters, as well as its incredible musical offering, are among the jewels in its crown.

The Cathedral holds many special memories for me. Whilst studying at the King's School in Gloucester, I attended daily chapel there, as well as completing my O levels, A Levels and the Oxford University entrance exam in the Chapter House. The Cathedral's vision for the future is an ambitious one. It involves several major projects including: the refurbishment of its historic organ, securing the future of the Cloister and training future generations of stonemasons. Can you help secure the future of this magnificent building with a donation?
